Etiquette
Blood bowl is a battle of skill and luck between you and your opponent. Rules and the quick reference guides are useful and encouraged. Play books that tell you HOW to set up, attempt a one turn touchdown etc are not!
We may not be able to include anyone that arrives after the registration period has closed in the initial round one draw.
Please don’t distract the top table(s) whilst they are playing the game, especially if you have a vested interest in a particular outcome!
It is the responsibility of the coaches to check that both teams have set up the correct number of players in a legal formation at the beginning of each drive. Ideally errors should be corrected before any dice are rolled.
Games and Scoring
The first round will be drawn randomly, with all further rounds using the Swiss system. The overall winner will be the coach with the most points at the end of the day – there will be no final.
Points are scored as follows:
50 points for a win.
20 points for a draw.
0 points for a loss.
+1 Bonus point per touchdown (max 3 bonus points)
+1 Bonus point per casualty (max 3 bonus points)
Players on the same points will be separated by the following tiebreakers:
1. Submitted roster in Tourplay on time
2. For most touchdowns ONLY – highest net touchdowns
3. For most casualties ONLY – highest net casualties
4. Opponent Score - the sum of all opponent’s tournament points, also known as strength of schedule. (tourplay records this as BHZ or Buchholz score)
5. Net Touchdowns
6. Net Casualties
7. Thumb War (TBC)
Awards
We will operate a “highlander” policy where you can only win one award with the exception of best painted which will not exclude you from winning something else.
